Regardless of the originality of the tab or not and I echo what John states, no one is perfect but if Grant states that he doesn't like it then that would be enough for me to send it back. Try to sell it down the road and see what happens. If you are going to keep and nurture it forever good for you.The collecting fraternity for these expensive tunics is relatively close and once given the kiss of death....no one that I recall has come forward and stated that they like and have no issues with the tab. This is the first mint tunic with mint tabs that I have ever seen offerred. No need to get nasty when asked for opinions. Just a sign of one's true nature and intent. cheers, Ryan
